Description	A $3 million state government program in South Dakota to improve water quality by paying landowners to create vegetated buffer strips along streambanks and contain livestock waste in the Big Sioux River watershed. The program created 83 linear miles of buffers protecting 1,219 acres, preventing significant amounts of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sediment from entering the watershed annually. The contracts last for 10 years, with payments increased after initial low participation.
